CES 2026 highlights: Nvidia’s Vera Rubin AI chips and humanoid robots push tech into the real world

LAS VEGAS, Nev., Jan 7, 2026, 04:42 PST Nvidia (NVDA.O) CEO Jensen Huang said at CES 2026 that the company’s next-generation Vera Rubin chips are in “full production,” aiming for a five-fold jump in artificial-intelligence computing for chatbots and other applications. He said a flagship server would pack 72 graphics processing units and 36 central processors, and generate “tokens” — the chunks of text AI models process — about 10 times more efficiently. “Only in that way can you truly trust how the models came to be,” Huang said, describing plans to release training data tied to Nvidia’s Alpamayo self-driving

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman Draws Superintelligence Red Lines as Costs, Talent Wars and Power Bills Collide

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman Draws Superintelligence Red Lines as Costs, Talent Wars and Power Bills Collide

On December 21, 2025, Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman put a clear stake in the ground: Microsoft will walk away from any AI system that could “run away” from human control, calling “containment” and “alignment” non‑negotiable “red lines” before releasing superintelligent tools. The Times of India The warning landed amid a second, equally blunt message shaping the frontier AI race: the next five to 10 years of leading-edge model development will likely require “hundreds of billions of dollars”, and Suleyman says his mission is to make Microsoft self‑sufficient in building frontier AI while assembling a “world‑class superintelligence team.” The Times

Australian Firm Neumann Space Pioneers Molybdenum-Fueled Space Propulsion With a Metal “Fuel Rod” Thruster

Australian Firm Neumann Space Pioneers Molybdenum-Fueled Space Propulsion With a Metal “Fuel Rod” Thruster

When most people hear “space propulsion,” they picture fire and chemical exhaust. But one of Australia’s most closely watched propulsion efforts is built around something far less cinematic—and potentially far more practical for modern satellites: a solid metal rod of molybdenum that can be turned into plasma on demand to nudge spacecraft through orbit. That technology, developed by Adelaide-based Neumann Space, has moved beyond lab demonstrations and into repeated on-orbit testing—an important step in a market that increasingly expects satellites to dodge debris, maintain formation, and safely deorbit at end of life. Over the past two years, the company’s Neumann Drive has progressed from first
